Under the charming gaze of the nearby All Saints Church and located directly behind The Old Red Cat Hotel, now simply descried as a traditional Norfolk Real Ale Inn, Briar Drift enjoys a green and leafy outlook over unspoilt meadow land to the rear.

LOCATION
The popular leafy hamlet of North Wootton rests betwixt the historic port town of King's Lynn and the near coastal, royal retreat in Sandringham. In its day the now disused village railway station would once have been familiar to the Royal family, being less than 3 miles away across the River Babingley from Wolferton Station, which served the nearby Sandringham Estate.
Perched on the banks of the River Ouse, neighbouring King's Lynn has been a centre of trade and industry since the Middle Ages, and its rich history is reflected in the many beautiful buildings which still line the historic quarter.
King Street, which runs from Tuesday Market Place to the Custom House, was once known as 'Stockfish Row' for the number of fish merchants that lived there. With a listed building every 26ft, Sir John Betjeman described it as one of the finest walks in England.
With Cambridge, Peterborough and Norwich all within an hour's drive and a direct rail line into London King's Cross arriving in the capital in just 1 hour 40 minutes, King's Lynn continues to attract a growing number of professionals seeking an easy commuter route. It's easy to see the appeal of this central location with a clutch of high street retailers and independent restaurants in the town's Vancouver Centre. The Majestic Cinema and King's Lynn Alive Corn Exchange are the place to catch a film or show, or check out what's on at St George's Guildhall, the UK's largest surviving medieval guildhall, today a vibrant arts centre.
A stunning cluster of Georgian architecture sits to the west of town and the streets surrounding The Walks, a Grade II listeThe popular leafy hamlet of North Wootton rests betwixt the historic port town of King's Lynn and the near coastal, royal retreat in Sandringham.
